I have been planning an engine/car rebuild/upgrade for quite some time now and thought I would let you know just what will be going into my MR2. It is a revision 2 1993 JDM MR2 Turbo which has the 3SGTE engine and E153 gearbox.Below is a list of parts that are either already installed or waiting to be installed.

Can't wait to see this in the flesh! Are you going to be doing the work yourself or are you leaving it in with someone to carry out for you? Should be pushing mega power when you have everything up and running! You planning on doing any drag runs? Be nice to see an MR2 show up a few of the Evos and Skylines!

Dan I will be doing most of the work myself. The block will most likely be sent to Tim of TBDevelopments. Tim uses a torque plate when he sends the blocks to be bored for the JUN stroker uses 87mm Cosworth pistons.I have no plans on doing any drag runs . . . but you never know .

mnixon I hope to get 400whp on pump fuel. It will have two maps. One for the NCT guys which should keep them happy and the other map for performance.

Quandry I don't think the 3082r has an anti surge housing. I would need to ask KORacing that question .

MOG this wont be finished any time soon. It takes a lot of effort for me to just get out of my cosy bed .

Would you believe it if I told you that I hurt my back when I was doing some soldering on Monday . I have been taking Difen anti-inflammatory capsules and my wife has been rubbing in Deep Heat . It's still not right but slowly recovering.

The first thing to do is cleaning the engine thoroughly. I plan on painting it when it's back together. I have plenty of small sealable plastic bags to help label all the nuts and bolts that are removed. I will try to remember to take photos as the engine work progresses.

Well I thought that I would do something with the MR2 today even with a dodgy back and installed LEDs in where the maps lights are. There are 20 LEDs per side which should release another 0.0000001 whp They are very bright and use less power as a bonus.
